Chapter 630

Outside Jinan Mansion, on one of Li Zhong's villages, the two mu of melon fields that he planted by himself before are now growing well.

As a leader in the Liangshanbo era, Li Zhong is now more than inferior than superior.

Think of him as a mere king of the mountains five or six years ago, and those who went to the state to enter the state seven or eight years ago, selling arts and sticks and selling medicine, and now he is the deputy general manager of the army and horses of Qilu Province. Lu Qian treated him well for his achievements.

Even if it cannot be compared with Han Bolong, it is not inferior to Jiao Ting.The latter is not as high as him in terms of official position, he just guards the court and sees Lu Qian often.

Li Zhong, who has never had great ambitions, is already laughing so hard in his dreams about his current situation.There is only one hundred, one thousand and ten thousand loyalty to King Lu, and there is nothing else to say.

He is not always busy with military affairs, in the land of Qilu, there are Lei Heng and Huang Xin who are above Li Zhong, how can Li Zhong be busy every day to perform?Even though it is the time for veterans to leave the army and recruits to join the army, Lei Heng is in charge of the Qilu garrison, and even if Huang Xin, the left deputy commander of the army and horses, is transferred to the south, Li Zhongwu has time to rest at his favorite village for a few days.

He was born into a poor family, living in the rivers and lakes, making a living by making guns and sticks and selling medicine. His biggest wish at that time was to make a fortune, then return to his hometown to buy a few acres of land, marry a wife, and give birth to several children. , live a peaceful life.

After going to Peach Blossom Mountain, he buried all these in his heart.He knew very well that once he entered the green forest, he couldn't help himself.

I have only been a thief for one day, but if the government doesn't give me a clear path, I will be a sinner for the rest of my life.Therefore, if you have wine today and get drunk today, you just want to eat and drink comfortably, so that you can spend less than two hours a day.Even if he is forced to join Liangshanshuibo helplessly, he still has the same mentality.At that time, how could you have imagined that there would be today?

Now he is 'successful and famous' and his ancestors are honored.Two years ago, he went to Dingyuan, Haozhou, and returned home in fine clothes.It was the wish of his parents to overhaul all the tombs of his parents and ancestors and build a small courtyard with green bricks and black tiles on the original site of the ancestral home.

It's not that Li Zhong has no money, but that his ancestral home is only half an acre of land.

However, a school was donated in the neighborhood for the children of the Li family and the children of the neighbors in the neighborhood to study, and all the pens and inks are free.This is more and longer than the short-term fame that Li Zhong earned by setting up a banquet in Dingyuan City for three days.

Li Zhong is conscious of his ability and determination, this life is coming to an end, and he is content.In the days to come, I will run errands, and then I will enjoy life.

So he bought land properties in many places, some were farms, some were manors, and that was to fulfill his early wish.

Just like Xiao Zhuangzi now, he picked up the hoe and started doing farm work on a whim.

In the eyes of serious people, such a life is like a waste of time and years in the eyes of people like Lei Heng and Sun Li.But Li Zhong is always content with his content and lives a comfortable life.

I rested on Zhuangzi for two days to calm down.Even if the Liangshan Army goes on an expedition this year, the army will have to deal with the retirement of veterans and the enlistment of new recruits.The Qilu garrison kept him busy for a while.Although Lei Heng loves drilling rigs, he never monopolizes power.When Huang Xin was there, he would lead Li Zhong to handle most of these general affairs. All he had to do was compile a summary of the data and submit a report to him.

Now that Huang Xin was gone, Lei Heng led Li Zhong to do it, and he also ran up and down with others for a while, and when the matter was settled, he saw the opportunity to come to the village to be lazy.

This refreshed his energy, and he wanted to go down to the ground to plow the wheat.It's already May, not only the watermelon has lost, but the wheat is also ripe.

Not only did Li Zhong want to go to the fields, but his two nephews and his biological son and daughter also wanted to go to the fields.Even if the son and daughter are less than five years old.

Even if it's just staying on the ground.

This was his early wish.At that time he had no wife, let alone a piece of land.Now Li Zhong is rich, but he doesn't want to raise his children so that they don't work hard.In addition to his earlier wish, he took his children to work in the fields.

Just because of a sudden guest, Li Zhong's plan to work in the fields for a day was aborted.

Li Zhong led his nephews and children, all of them dressed as peasants. Not long after they entered the field, they saw a follower running up to Li Fu and whispering in Li Fu's ear. Later, he retired from the army and worked as a housekeeper in his family.

Li Fu immediately reported to Li Zhong that it was Zhou Tong who came to visit.

The little overlord Zhou Tong was worse than Li Zhongqie, and he served as a military envoy in Jeju. "How did he get here?"

Without waiting for Li Fu to reply, he hurried out of the wheat field and asked someone to prepare clean water for washing.

But it was too late.

Zhou Tong has been led over.Not far away, you can see a few acres of wheat fields, a melon field beside it, and a watermelon shed.

Sitting in the shed were Li Zhong and his nephew, all dressed in the same way: wearing a bamboo hat on their head, a dark cotton towel around their neck, a short jacket with sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, and coarse cloth shoes on their feet.

Zhou Tong laughed before approaching.He had heard that Li Zhong had built several farms and was still farming on the farms, but he hadn't seen him take the children to the fields with his own eyes.

When Li Zhong saw Zhou Tong, he didn't get up to greet him, he waved and said with a smile: "Brother, come here, try the watermelon grown by brother!"

His two thirteenth and fourteenth nephews knew that today's commute to the field was over, they led Li Zhong's two children and got up to greet Zhou Tong.Li Zhong waved his hand, and Li Fu left with the four of them.

"Little brother came to Jinan Mansion to pick up recruits. I heard that my brother was also here, so I found it myself." Zhou Tong and Li Zhong had a close friendship, and while talking, he sat down on a stool and picked up a piece of melon to eat.

However, public affairs are the first priority in everything. No matter how good the relationship between Zhou Tong and Li Zhong is, they can only stay in the village for one night, and then ride horses to the new barracks in Jinan early the next morning.

That Li Zhong also returned to Yidu after spending five or six days leisurely in the village.

The reason was not that he was going to be busy again, but that Li Zhong was going to celebrate his [-]th birthday.

This is a whole life, so it is natural to celebrate.If the Li's mansion was so lively that day, Hugh saw that Li Zhong was far inferior to Lin Lu and others.But in essence, the deputy commander-in-chief of a province's army and horses, the third person in the provincial standing army, is still an old man in Liangshanbo, so there are many people who are fawning on him.

Taking Mrs. Li Zhong's natal family as an example, not all the seven aunts and eight aunts came.This was not because of the wealth of the Li Zhong family and to take advantage of it. Even if he had such shallow eyes, he would have been suppressed long ago.Today is a great opportunity for them to deepen their relationship with the Li family.

The whole morning was full of joy, but at noon, Li's sister-in-law couldn't hold it any longer, so her sister-in-law went to sit in the small flower hall.Before the tea was replaced with a bowl, the outside suddenly became lively.

They were about to ask someone to go out and take a look when a maid ran in and said, "The queen has a reward, hurry! Everyone needs to get out!"

This Empress Fang's position is a bit embarrassing, but the queen's position is still strong.

Naturally, the two sisters-in-law would not be three floors in and three floors out, and the outer covers were all removed.It was a hot day in May.So he dressed neatly again, and when he entered the main hall of the backyard, everything was ready, and when everyone arrived, he knelt down in a large area in the yard.

The aunt who came to present the award looked about 40 to [-] years old, she was very dignified, she stood there with her back straight, she was lucky enough to say a long series of special words in classical Chinese, in short, it meant that it happened to be an auspicious day, remembering Li Zhong's years of loyalty and dedication , I was very touched, so I rewarded you today.

Next came a few sets of heads, silk and satin, and some rare melons and fruits.Such as lychees and cantaloupe.

The former was presented by merchants, and the latter was presented by the Uighur envoys from Gaochang.

The Gaochang Uyghurs were very knowledgeable. Immediately after the Liangshan Army took over Guanlong, they sent a mission to visit Yidu.Accompanying them were envoys from many tribes of Huangtou Huihe and Qingtang Qiang.

Li received a reward from Fang Jinzhi in the back house, and Li Zhong received a reward from Lu Qian in the front yard.The couple has cooperated many times.

Back then, Lu Qian asked people to remember the birthday of the leader of Liangshan Bo.When the day comes, rewards will be given out, which can win people's hearts.Later, when he became King Lu, the birthday gifts of those people were saved, and if they were too frequent, they would be worthless, wouldn't they?But a whole life like Li Zhong's is a must.He and Fang Jinzhi had a great time doing it with such kindness and effortlessness.

The Li Mansion was also full of guests and friends that day, and they were very happy.The drums and harps are played, and the sheng is filled with joy.This is where the rear area is, so you can't feel the brutality of the frontline war at all.

Song Wan delivered the gunpowder to the Hengyang army, and it happened that the sun was clear. Lin Chong didn't hesitate at all, and ordered someone to send a cave cart to dig a hole under the city. The explosion exploded in the afternoon of the same day, and destroyed the west city wall of Hengyang in one fell swoop.

The loud noise shook the sky, and the dust covered the sky.

The Liangshan Army had been prepared for a long time. They immediately beat drums and blew trumpets, and the army attacked.And the Western Army in the city was so shocked that they were dizzy and panicked. How could they resist?

The collapse of the city was too traumatic for the defenders. Even if there were [-] Western troops in the city, even if the Hengyang troops were in the middle of the division, they were defeated by the Liangshan army who invaded the city like the mob.

The latter is like a flood, overwhelming.

In the desperate situation, Zhongshi wanted to organize the Western Army to counterattack, but was finally forced to escape from the south of the city by his generals.Duan was defeated like a mountain.

However, it is easier said than done to escape from death at this time?
Liangshan army besieged and pursued, how did the division escape.In the end, more than a thousand remnants of the contract were besieged on a hill.

Lin Chong knew that Lu Qian appreciated big and small species very much, so he naturally didn't want to threaten them too much.Let people go to persuade them to surrender, but how can Zhongshi be willing to be a second minister in the face of old age? "I joined the army together, and now I am old, how can I endure the humiliation?"

Knowing that you are in a desperate situation, you will die without rebirth.After regaining his strength, he shook his spear and led those who were willing to die to rush down the mountain.

The latter has less than three hundred people.

At this time, it was time for the sign, and on the northeast corner of the mountain, there was a cluster of flags, covered with a red umbrella, and a person could be vaguely seen, wearing purple and gold armor, holding a long whip, pointing at things.

Zhong Shizhong had already seen the direction clearly when he was on the mountain. He pointed with his hand and said to Guo Cheng, Guo Hao and his son, "That must be where the Northern Thief General is. This is a scourge for the imperial court. Today he came to the battle in person. I Why don't we meet him face to face later? I want to lead my troops to make a last-ditch effort, catch the thief unawares, kill him, and cut off the thief's arm."

Guo Cheng and his son are still closely following Master Zhong from now to now, and they must be loyal officials of the Song Dynasty. Hearing the sound, they immediately said: "My father and son are willing to die with the Lord."

The teacher was very unhappy, and immediately called the soldiers on the mountain, and all those who were willing to fight with him to the death would kill all of them and go down the mountain.If you don't want to, just stay on the mountain and surrender later.

After saying these words, the master got on his horse, picked up the steel gun in his hand, and rode straight down the mountain.
